Overview
- Sané has been named to Germany's squad for World Cup qualifiers against Luxembourg on Friday and Slovakia three days later in Leipzig.
- Nagelsmann said he is not yet fully satisfied with Sané's performances and stressed there are no longer "countless opportunities" for the winger to prove himself.
- The coach acknowledged the selection was influenced by a scarcity of high-quality options on the flank despite Sané’s recent uptick in form.
- Since a slow start at Galatasaray after leaving Bayern on a free transfer, Sané has produced three league goals and one assist, plus two Champions League assists, with Gala leading the Süper Lig.
- Sané accepted fan criticism after the 5-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, said he maintains a good relationship with Nagelsmann, and described the World Cup as a major personal goal.
